What is investment casting?
Also known as lost wax casting, the investment casting process dates back over 5000 years. Today it offers the capability to produce light weight and complex components while minimising waste energy consumption and subsequent machining.
Essentially, investment casting involves pouring a liquid metal into a hollow ceramic mould. Once the liquid metal has cooled and solidified, it is extracted from the mould cavity. The process, up to the pouring of the metal is what makes the investment casting technique unique and delivers a better surface finish than conventional sand-casting methods.
What is investment casting used for?
The applications for investment casting are limitless. Its total flexibility makes it possible for highly complex parts to be made relatively simply with consistency and accuracy. With these benefits it is hard not to specify the limits of components that can be cast.
The aerospace and defence, automotive, engineering and oil & gas industries are some of the business sectors that benefit from investment castings, making components such as gear box assemblies, engine components, tools, valves and pumps.

The 2&3D drawing format can be PDF, STEP, DWG, DXF and soon, can be sent via email. Wechat, WhatsApp, link.
After clear the demand of customer, we can send you the quotation with PDF format for documentation.
For requirements for confidentiality of drawings, we can signed the NDA before you send drawing.
The feasibility study of drawing is most key point to ensure the part can be fully meet drawing specifications, which is include material, dimension, surface treatment, and testing request.
